if div not null then
value=(num/(ifeq(div,0,1,div))
endif
Have a Fabulous Day!

Jan,
Can you change the default for the divisor column to 1 sensibly? Division by
1 is pretty safe, and gives you the numerator value.

I vaguely remember that there is a way to turn a math problem around and
multiply but I sure can't remember it.
Any ideas? Or even how to restrict the value enter to a non-zero?
Jan
